Agricultural chemical preparations and method for preparing same

Abstract

PCT No. PCT/JP95/01535 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 31, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 31, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 2, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/03872 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 15, 1996Disclosed are an agricultural chemical preparation which comprises 100 parts by weight of a fatty acid ester of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol, 10 to 2000 parts by weight of an agricultural effective component and 10 to 400 parts by weight of a surfactant and a method for preparing the same. The agricultural chemical preparation sufficiently shows its efficacy even at a low concentration and exhibits not only preventive effect, but also curative effect.\!

I claim: 
     
       1. An agricultural chemical preparation comprising 100 parts by weight of a fatty acid ester of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol, 10 to 2000 parts by weight of powdery sulfur and 10 to 400 parts by weight of a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylallyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylamine, alkyldihydroxyalkylamine, polyoxyethylene bisphenyl ether and polyoxyethylene alkyl ester. 
     
     
       2. The agricultural chemical preparation of claim 1 wherein said surfactant is selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylallyl ether, and polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether. 
     
     
       3. The agricultural chemical preparation of claim 1 wherein said surfactant is polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether. 
     
     
       4. The agricultural chemical preparation of claim 1 wherein said fatty acid ester of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol is glycerin monolaurate. 
     
     
       5. The agricultural chemical preparation of claim 1 wherein the powdery sulfur comprises fine particles that at least pass through 200 mesh. 
     
     
       6. The agricultural chemical preparation of claim 1 wherein the content of the powdery sulfur ranges from 10 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the agricultural chemical preparation. 
     
     
       7. A method for controlling and/or treating a plant disease selected from the group consisting of powdery mildew and rust, which comprises the steps of providing an agricultural chemical preparation comprising 100 parts by weight of a fatty acid ester of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol, 10 to 2000 parts by weight of powdery sulfur and 10 to 400 parts by weight of a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylallyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylamine, alkyldihydroxyalkylamine, polyoxyethylene bisphenyl ether and polyoxyethylene alkyl ester; and applying the agricultural chemical preparation to a plant suffering from the disease. 
     
     
       8. The method of claim 7 wherein the plant disease is selected from the group consisting of powdery mildew of cucumber, powdery mildew of barley plant, powdery mildew of vine plant and rust of Welsh onion. 
     
     
       9. The method of claim 7 wherein said surfactant is selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylallyl ether, and polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether. 
     
     
       10. The method of claim 7 wherein said surfactant is polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether. 
     
     
       11. The method of claim 7 wherein said fatty acid ester of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol is glycerin monolaurate. 
     
     
       12. The method of claim 7 wherein the powdery sulfur comprises fine particles of not less than 200 mesh pass. 
     
     
       13. The method of claim 7 wherein the content of the powdery sulfur ranges from 10 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the agricultural chemical preparation.
